About Antony

Antony Ashby is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) with seven years of clinical experience based in Texas. He focuses on relationship and family concerns, parenting strains, intimacy issues, self-esteem, anxiety, depression, and the effects of trauma and abuse. Antony also addresses anger, stress, and life transitions, and he works with people dealing with infidelity, communication breakdowns, and fatherhood challenges.

He uses clear, direct conversation to identify what matters most to each person. Sessions aim to find practical changes in behavior and thinking that improve everyday life. Antony draws on methods from Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Emotionally-Focused Therapy, and existential ideas to help people clarify values and take steps that align with them.

In sessions he tends to focus on relationships and how patterns repeat over time. That means looking at both current problems and the beliefs that keep them going. He also works on building healthier boundaries and improving communication skills so people can feel steadier at home.

Antony takes a systems-minded view when family dynamics affect an individual’s wellbeing. He will talk through roles, expectations, and how past experiences shape current reactions. The approach blends reflective conversation with practical exercises to try between meetings.

People who come to Antony can expect straightforward feedback and collaborative planning. He encourages people to set small, concrete goals and track progress from week to week. Sessions are conducted in English and he accepts international clients, with services adapted to each person’s situation.

How sessions work

How Antony’s approaches translate to online sessions

Antony commonly draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy when working with relationship and parenting concerns. ACT helps people clarify what they value and take committed actions toward those values, which can reduce avoidance and increase meaningful change. CBT breaks down unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns and teaches practical skills to alter those patterns, useful for anxiety, low mood, and communication problems.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Antony will discuss how these methods fit your goals and preferences and will adjust the plan together. Expect a collaborative process where techniques are introduced and then reviewed to see what helps most in daily life.

The original biography does not list which online session formats are used, so confirm the current options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy around work, child care, or other responsibilities. They also allow for shorter check-ins and tools-based sessions that focus on skill practice and communication exercises you can do between meetings.
